Abstract:
We propose in this article to define a system which generates a generic care process based on the ABC method. For this purpose, we adapt dynamically the medical information system with UML packages in order to generate some semantic and syntactic links between the different packages that represent the “business objects” of a hospital. These packages contain all the information related to a specific problem for all the patients. So we are able to extract the particular data concerning a criteria (diagnosis, IP number, etc.) and a patient and, in that manner, to re-build the care process. The ABC method gives the skeleton of the care process and allows the definition of costs on a particular care process (e.g. the care process of the patient “John” concerning the disease “kidney failure” in the hospital H).
